Hey guys, I'm new to tabletop roleplaying and have seen a few forums mentioning Ironsworn. I was wondering if anyone has played it solo and how well it turned out?
If you hit the community right now, the creator has just posted an "example of play" that's a solo session. I'm running my second solo session at the moment and it's going swimmingly.
Hey Santiago Blair, welcome to the hobby and community! Sorry I’m late to the party, but it sounds like John Risus and Justin Gordon have already given you a good rundown. All I’ll add is that as someone who’s been tinkering with solo roleplaying a while, I’d definitely reccomend looking to some actual plays as well as the rules for whatever system excites you if you can find them (and Ironsworn seems like a really great choice for a new/first timer; I wish it had been around when I was starting out!). I’ve got a couple actual play episodes of my Ironsworn game up with the mechanics and some explaination of how I interpreted the oracles. The second part gets a little heavy into the roleplay/storytime, but the first is fairly snappy and has quite a bit of the game and mechanics in there. It’s also been super fun, and for me at least, very easy to play solo so far. Either way, best of luck and please post any questions, thoughts, experiences and play reports you have or feel like sharing.
